Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kiss of Apollo
A door blew together somewhere downstairs and another at the same time quietly shut near him, but he did not heed it, having fallen upon a chapter in the murder trial that had charmed him. Only the bell could recall him now, and that did not happen to ring. Housed as well as a caged tiger, denied all prerogatives of free manhood, captive of luxury, a domestic slave was Martin; but with the Swiss peaks in his mountaineer's heart and the cow-bells of Chamounix ringing silvery in his ears, down from the heights whence the herds wound to his father's chalet at this same hour of the evening, the magical hour of return to the fold.
